The unfortunate reality of the world we live in is that all too often, animals are neglected, under appreciated, and can end up in animal shelters or even worse. Contrary to this unfortunate reality, however, is the amazing process of adoption! Adoption can be the most amazing experience that a neglected animal can go through. Every week, we highlight some of the amazing transformations that occur when a newly adopted animal is showered with love and affection.

The transformations that can occur even in a relatively short amount of time can be drastic! It just goes to show that there is nothing a little love cannot cure. These animals have so much love to give and they are just waiting, often in shelters or even on the streets, for their humans. We always recommend taking a trip down to your local shelter, if not to adopt than at least to get to know some of the amazing souls that call it home. If you are not able to adopt, consider making a financial contribution to your local shelter, trust us, they could really use it!

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

Jazz's owners began to foster him when his owner passed away. He came to us as a fat 11 year old with heartworms, hypothyroidism, a nasty skin infection, and nails growing into his paw pads. Now he's their first foster fail and king of the house.

This kitten was born on the street. After his treatment, the person who discovered him found a new home and family for him. His new family sent along these pictures so his discoverer could check out the progress!
